Article Nightmares and Serum Cholesterol Level: a Preliminary Report(Canadian Psychiatric Assoc, 2005) Agargun, MY; Gulec, M; Cilli, AS; Kara, H; Sekeroglu, R; Dulger, H; Inci, RObjective: To examine whether there is a relation between nightmares and serum lipid levels. Methods: Fifteen subjects who met DSM-IV criteria for the diagnosis of nightmare disorder and 15 healthy control subjects participated in the study. We used an enzymatic colorimetric method for cholesterol and triglyceride determination. We measured high-density lipoprotien (HDL) cholesterol using the direct HDL-cliolesterot method. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) was calculated according to the Friedewald formula. Results: Patients with nightmare disorder had. lower serum triglyceride, lower total cholesterol, and lower LDL levels than healthy control Subjects. Conclusion: These findings suggest that nightmares are associated with low serum lipid levels.Article Nightmares and Terminal Insomnia in Depressed Patients With and Without Melancholic Features(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2005) Besiroglu, L; Agargun, MY; Inci, RTo investigate the relationship between nightmares and melancholic features (MF) in depression, we compared depressed patients with and without MF (n=82 and n=75, respectively) regarding the presence of nightmares.
